The Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper ("Lochmias nematura") is a passerine bird of South America belonging to the family Furnariidae, the ovenbirds. It is the only member of the genus "Lochmias".

This bird is about 6 in (15 cm) long, with a short tail and a long, thin, slightly curved bill. The plumage is dark brown, densely spotted white on the underparts. There is a white stripe over the eye and the tail is blackish. The song is an accelerating trill, lasting for about five seconds.

There are six subspecies which differ little:
*"Lochmias nematura castanonotus" - south-east Venezuela
*"Lochmias nematura chimantae" - southern Venezuela
*"Lochmias nematura nelsoni" - Panama (eastern Darién)
*"Lochmias nematura nematura" - south-east Brazil, north-east Argentina, eastern Paraguay, northern Uruguay.
*"Lochmias nematura obscuratus" - Peru, Bolivia
*"Lochmias nematura sororius" - Colombia, Ecuador, northern Venezuela, north-east Peru

It inhabits dense undergrowth near streams, particularly in humid premontane and montane forest [Salaman "et al." (2002)] , foraging on the ground for insects and other invertebrates [de L. Fávaro "et al." (2006)] . It usually occurs alone or in pairs and is often shy and hard to see. The nest is ball-shaped with a side-entrance and is built on the ground.
